- Are you sure of what you are saying? Removeable writeable media is a necessity
- yes, but any paticular media that does that is not. Which would be better, an
- internal HD floppy drive or an external HD floppy drive that you can replace?
- It is just as easy for it to become a hard time to find HD floppies as it is to
- find DD floppies now. With the a1200 design it is actually easier to use an
- external floppy drive than the internal one, you can see what you are doing.

- The easiest way I know to exchange lots of data from one hard drive to another
- is to connect both drives to one system, much faster than using floppies and a
- hell of a lot more convenient.
